Three things we can do to touch waves of glory:

1) Get Into His Presence

First, get into His presence, and then contend for more. The presence realm is available to all of us, all the time. When you meet, even with just two or three, Jesus is present with you (see Matthew 18:20). Get in His…

The true success of our ministry to others will be by how it brought forth the formation of Christ within the person God has given us to DISCIPLE.

Church members need to be encouraged to "think bigger."  They need to see themselves as ministers to their fellow man.

"You can be sure that the more we undergo sufferings for Christ, the more He will shower us with His comfort and encouragement." - 2 Corinthians 1:5

These sufferings are not sickness and poverty as some religious teaching suggest. These afflictions are described as the "fellowship of sufferings" that the believer will encounter for doing the will of God, or…

"We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." - 1 John 2:1

When the Holy Spirit shows us an area that needs repentance, we must overcome the instinct to defend ourselves. We must silence the little lawyer who steps out from a dark closet in our minds, pleading. "My client is not so bad."…

We as kings and priests in God's kingdom are the anointed ones, the sons and daughters of fresh oil, endued with gifts of power, strength, and grace to enable us to accomplish the WORK we are destined for in our Christ calling.

"You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only." - James 2:24…

"His disciples came to point out to Him the buildings of the temple. But He answered them....Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down." - Matthew 24:1,2

Jesus said, in effect, 'I am the temple of the new dispensation. I am going to take the place of this old…

The Holy Spirit is WITHIN us for our benefit, and UPON us to help others. (John 20:19-22, Acts 2:1-4)

God doesn't call us to earn money, but to change lives (disciple others). If we will remain concerned about lives and doing the will of God, He will take care of the finances.

"Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.  What are you O great mountain...you shall become a plain......amid shouts of 'Grace, grace to it." - Zechariah 4:6,7

The ministry of the Christian is the ministry of the Spirit. Other men have intellectuality, but the Christian is supposed to be the possessor of the…

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1

Faith is stronger than belief. To believe is to give intellectual assent; to have faith is to be inseparable from the object of your devotion. Belief can be changed or lost by a more persuasive argument. True faith is so much a part of the person it can only be taken by…

You know there are things you are doing now that are temporary. You are doing them only until you find the thing God wants you to do, the real work you were meant to do. When the fire reaches your core, you will trash all the vestiges of mundane, tiresome, powerless living.

Our best days are yet to come! God sent us to do a job and we're going to reap because He is the…

The apostle Paul lived in the green-light district of the Gospel. He didn't need signs in the heavens to convince Him to obey the Scriptures. When Jesus said, "Go!" that was enough.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them....." -…

The deadness and feebleness of the saints today is largely due to their receiving and following the truth with their minds. This is nothing but the law. In spite of the exactness of the letter, it is absolutely not of the Holy Spirit.

Our understanding deals with conceptions and images of divine things, but it cannot reach the real life of the inner spirit. He fills only…

Each of us has a cup to drink in route to our DESTINY.  We will swallow the full dregs, and though it kills us, we shall live.  Yet it shall not be us, but Christ living in us.

God takes things to another level as we press through into a new place in Him.  Transitions are healthy and good for us.  When we allow ourselves to be stretched into a new place, we will experience fresh joys on the other…

 "Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges...you will rejoice in the Lord, You will glory in the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 41:15,16

Are we ready to dive into the bottomless treasure chest of God for our lives?  When we awake spiritually…

"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in Heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of…

Matthew 6:10 - "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

What world is more real to us? Is it this present world or the eternal?

FREEDOM IN OUR SPIRIT…

John 14:18,20 - "I will not leave you alone;  I will come back to you.  When that day comes, you will know that I am in my Father, and that you are in me, just as I am in you."

When we talk about power encounters as a means of reaching people with God's love, many different ideas may run through our heads. Most people don't see…

"In the last days, "I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on My servants, (FLAMES OF FIRE) both men and women, I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the Heaven above and signs on the earth below..." (Acts 2:17-19…

Ephesians 4:20-24 ” throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.”

In this season God is charging us to fully put some old things under our feet...to fully…
